Frequently Asked Questions
What fonts are available?
We offer Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Georgia, Courier New, Impact, Comic Sans MS, and Verdana. Impact is the classic meme font, while Arial and Helvetica are clean and professional.
How do I position text precisely?
Use the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) position fields, which accept percentage values. X=50 and Y=50 centers the text. X=10 and Y=10 places it near the top-left corner.
Can I add multiple text blocks?
This tool adds one text block per image. For multiple text blocks, you can add text, download, then re-upload and add another block. Or use our Meme Maker for top/bottom text.
